A shipping pallet arrangement includes a first pallet having a first underdeck opening to a first storage volume under a top deck, said top deck supporting goods for transport; and a first underdeck container holding goods and received within the first storage volume. A method for shipping goods in a transport container includes positioning a first pallet in the transport container, the first pallet having a first underdeck opening to a first storage volume under a top deck having goods thereon; storing goods within a first underdeck container; after the step of storing and the step of positioning, receiving the first underdeck container at least partially within the first storage volume; and after the step of receiving, shipping the transport container.

A central support device for supporting plate-shaped objects and a storage apparatus for storing the plate-shaped objects are provided and adapted to regulate the heights of support elements and confine front ends thereof to a specified range. The central support device includes a casing, the support elements and height adjustment elements. Partition portions each having a dent portions are disposed at the casing and arranged in the heightwise direction, with a support element receiving slot defined between every two adjacent partition portions. Bottom sides of the dent portions slope in the heightwise direction. One end of each support element is connected to a bottom portion of a corresponding support element receiving slot. The height adjustment elements are disposed in the dent portions, respectively, and extend in the heightwise direction to form top ends for supporting the support elements. The storage apparatus also includes the central support device.

A modularized large-sized carrier includes at least two body modules, at least one hermetic seal component and a back board. The body modules are connected to each other peripherally and arranged in a depth direction. The hermetic seal component surrounds junctions of the body modules. The back board is disposed behind the last one of the body modules. The modularized large-sized carrier overcomes existing carrier size limitations otherwise caused by injection molding machines and continuously expands in the depth direction to thereby enlarge the airtight storage space of the carrier.

A supporting shelf module includes a plurality of plastic supporting plates parallelly arranged in a height direction, and at least one pair of metal-made connectors located at two opposite ends of the supporting plates in the height direction. The connectors in one pair are correspondingly located in two horizontal planes perpendicular to the height direction. A wafer container is also disclosed, which includes a container body having at least two sets of the supporting shelf modules mounted therein, at least two top retaining brackets and at least two bottom retaining grooves provided on an inward side of a top and a bottom panel of the container body, respectively. The supporting shelf module has upper ends engaged with the top retaining brackets and lower ends engaged with and limited to the bottom retaining grooves in an engaging direction. Thus, the tolerance problem of the conventional wafer shelf can be solved.

An interlocking three dimensional display system is described that includes a plurality of interlocking units. The interlocking units are easily coupled together and may be coupled in multiple varied orientations utilizing various combinations of an upper and base unit. The interlocking units are easily collapsed and fold flat for transportation.

A substrate container with enhanced flow field therein includes a box, at least one offset inflation mechanism and at least one gas diffusion mechanism. The offset inflation mechanism is disposed outside internal receiving space of the box. The offset inflation mechanism has a gaseous chamber extending in the same direction as a bottom panel. The gas diffusion mechanism includes a base, a partition wall and at least one diffusion member. The base masks an outlet of the gaseous chamber to form an auxiliary gaseous chamber. The partition wall extends perpendicularly to the bottom panel to form a vertical first gas channel in communication with the auxiliary gaseous chamber. The diffusion member and the partition wall together define a second gas channel. The partition wall has at least one gap whereby the first gas channel and the second gas channel are in communication with each other.

In one embodiment, a tool container system includes a container with base and cover pivotably attached by a hinge, base and cover locking members, and a latch moveable between unlatched and latched positions to allow or prevent movement of the cover relative to the base. The system also includes a utility knife blade retainer configured to be received in and held by the container, the retainer configured to define a generally trapezoidal shape and contact multiple faces of blades received therein. The retainer comprises an engagement feature to engage with the container to limit movement of the retainer. In another embodiment, a knife blade retainer is configured to be received in a container. The retainer includes a generally trapezoidal shape defined therein to contact multiple faces of a trapezoidal shape of blades received therein. An engagement feature engages with the container to limit movement of the retainer within the container.

An accessory for use with a portable container includes a jacket configured to extend around at least a portion of the sidewall of the container, the jacket including a plurality of modular sections formed separately and connected together around the at least a portion of the sidewall of the container. The modular sections include a first modular section having extending around a first portion of the sidewall of the container, a second modular section connected to the first modular section and extending around a second portion of the sidewall of the container, and at least one additional modular section extending around a third portion of the sidewall of the container. The first and second modular sections have different structural configurations. The accessory also includes a first connection member connected to the jacket and configured to support the jacket in connection with the container.

A package for a product that contains a first and a second thermoform container body that are configured to support the product. The first container body includes a first outer wall extending along a side of the first container body and defining a first mating surface and a first interlocking structure proximate the first outer wall and including an outer surface. The second container body includes a second outer wall extending along a side of the second container body, an inner wall disposed inwardly of the second outer wall and defining a second mating surface, and a second interlocking structure intermediate the second outer wall and the inner wall. The first and second interlocking structures are configured to interlock with one another when the outer surface of the first interlocking structure is placed in facing engagement with the inner surface of the second interlocking structure.
